Nad c399 vs nad c298 (Hypex vs purifi) which one have better sound quality and by how much %?
What do you not get in "there's no audible difference" or " x percentage evaluating sound quality doesn't exist at all" ?!
No, you're just flooding several threads and waste everyone's time by asking the same question over and over, without even considering the answers gentle members gave you. There's no "problem".
Get the 399, it will have plenty of clean power for R3s. Done. Case closed.
I tried really hard to help when .bot sent me a DM. But ultimately the routine became exactly the same on the DM as in the forum posts. There is a slang term for this type of behavior, but it’s a bit impolite.
I think we are being sealioned.
For those interested in the C399, which looks to be a pretty full-featured, one box solution, here are some test results I found. I considered it when I built my system, but I wanted to use my Apt Holman, and I wanted to keep DAC and DSP as a separate box figuring that part of the stream (particularly DSP) was likely to progress in the future more than amplification.

I disagree. I think this is more accurate.

i think c399 is great option,
because it have better dac,
but with c298 i will not need to replace it in the future, i see from the chart specs difference is only 4 db? and some harmonic distortion 4db is not that much or?

As a non native English speaker, these slangs are very interesting to learn.I disagree. I think this is more accurate.

I’m happy that I’ve found a way to make a positive contribution here. I’m still learning on the technical side, but when it comes to colorful language I’m pretty much an expert.As a non native English speaker, these slangs are very interesting to learn.

I think the only opinion that matters is that of Amir's AP555 https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/nad-c658-streaming-dac-review.12090/
Its very expensive and really not justifying that with its performance.

I dont think being new will get around the fact that its spec'd performance is crap for the money.
But as someone else said in one of your threads, if its all you can get, its the best one.

So they were happy to make up a bullshit number for you that you can imagine means something. That's one way of doing it I guess.
